Hope Yarrington was born into the Work of Christ Community in Lansing, MI, and left community soon after her gap year in Dublin, Ireland, in 2018. She is currently pursuing a social work degree from Central Michigan University, aspiring to work alongside families and individuals struggling with addiction. She hopes that her story will be encouraging and enlightening to those who have left community, to know that there is hope of healing from hurt it may have caused. Everyone’s story is different, everyone deserves to be understood and seen as an individual, and everyone deserves healing.
